We made a 4-minute video explaining how and why H2020 MORPHIC wants to change the ecosystem of photonic chips, creating programmable photonic circuits actuated with photonic MEMS that can be used for a wide range of applications. youtube.com/watch?v=nA0MIX…

Congrats to #OSAFellow Roel Baets of UGent named the 2020 John Tyndall Award Recipient for his profound advancements in silicon #photonics & impact in areas from #telecommunication to environmental #sensing. Baets will receive the award at #OFC20 ow.ly/6qv550x97vO

Xiangfeng Chen of Photonics UGent explaining the architecture of programmable photonics and graph-based programming at the annual meeting of IEEE Photonics Society Benelux Chapter at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (inactief).

Congratulations to Jimmy Xiangfeng Chen of Photonics UGent and Pieter Stroobant of @IDLabTweets with your publication in IEEE Photonics Society #JLT on graph algorithms for programming reconfigurable photonic chips. European Research Council (ERC) H2020 MORPHIC @PhotonicsEU doi.org/10.1109/JLT.20…

Normally we would be having our H2020 MORPHIC project meeting in Stockholm @KTHresearch . Instead, we moved our meeting on-line. Even with experimental work frozen due to COVID19, collaboration is going strong towards programmable silicon photonic chips with MEMS. @PhotonicsEU
